DPV® Software: Delivery Point Confirmation
The DPV process determines if the CASS™ processed address is identified as a Postal Service™ delivery point and detects vacancies and other addressing issues that may hinder delivery.
USPS® Delivery Points are single locations where mail is delivered. The U.S. Postal Service® currently delivers to more than 150 million locations. USPS CASS address validation is limited to verifying that an address is in a valid ZIP+4™ range. The DPV process identifies if the address is a known USPS delivery point. For example:
702 W OAK ST
DENTON TX 76201
While 702 is CASS matched to the ZIP+4 range of 700-798, it does not DPV confirm. Doors 700 and 704 exist but 702 does not. Identifying undeliverable addresses reduces return mail saving processing and postage costs.
